Visual Communication

Visual communication is one way to communicate through visual media, the images, which can be captured by our visual senses. To achieve visual communication, the media needed to create a message that we will make, to be transmitted properly.
Areas that should be in our hands is the start of the image forms, sketches, drawings of anatomy, nirmana, color theory, photography, typography, illustration, animation, computer graphics, multimedia, plus of course also the theories of communication that supports the visual communication field . All of which should be in our hands although we do not master it in full but at least we know and can use it even a little. If we as a graphic designer is not so good at drawing, it would not be a big problem. Here we are not required to be able to draw very well, but at least a graphic designer 'could' draw and draw the 'right' even to draw a sketch for the course. Because, what is most valued and most 'expensive' price in a design is a creative idea of a graphic designer.
In a design, of course, a graphic designer and designed to make it interesting. Necessary so that the colors are supported. Here is a function of color theory. Ordinary people see colors in a design may be good or bad comment. But they do not understand, whereas in a design, the colors used by its own means. Whether that means the color adjective, or a color that was already a brand color. For teaches color theory we start from the primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors; and how to mix one color with another color, so we get the color we want it right; to the meaning of each color to be used in a design. For color mixing using paint media, required accuracy in each level incorporate the color. Primary color is the original color. Primary colors consisting of 3 colors. Not like the colors mentioned in the song "..... rainbow rainbow-red, yellow, green ... in the blue sky ...", but the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Of the three primary colors or colors may be other colors such as secondary colors, ie orange, purple, and green; also can produce other colors we want. Few tips on color mixing, if it will mix the color for example want to get green, a mixture of yellow and blue colors, better if a stronger color (blue) levels were lower than the weak color (yellow). This is so we do not immediately get the old green / black. But when we first got the green is still young, and we want to get the older green / dark, we stayed just add blue to the green color we want is achieved, of course, add it little by little, as if adding more would be useless direct . The result will immediately become old green one.
Besides drawing and color, typography also strongly supports the work of design. We must know the character of a font. This meant that occur alignment and harmonization between the objects we put in the work of design with the words, such as tag line or font in the brand and logo.
To improve these things, of course, the media needed a computer. Where there is Adobe Photo shop, Corel Draw, Freehand, Page Maker, Flash, and others.
Thus articles on visual communication is what I learned. Hopefully this article can be useful for us all, and certainly fulfill my duties as a student to do the job this article. We apologize if any mistakes or words that I give tips do not interest you. So much from me, and thank you.
